HC Deb 28 January 1953 vol 510 c126W
Squadron Leader Cooper

asked the Minister of Health what medical evidence is available to support recently-published opinion that smoking may cause cancer of the lung; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

This whole question is before my Standing Advisory Committee on Cancer and Radiotherapy, which is to meet on 5th February, and I am awaiting their observations.
